Palomino Mare -- Sandy

This was my registered Missouri Foxtrotter mare Sandy.  Sandy was supposedly a show horse in her early years, then a broodmare for a few years.  I raised two fillies from her, then went to trail riding full time.  She has had three years of natural horsemanship training and I studied Level 2 Parelli horsemanship with her for seven months in 2007.  I rode her in a halter and either lead rope or mecate reins.  I learned about natural hoof care in 2007 and after being trained how to do it, I started trimming Sandy's feet and she pretty much went barefoot all year.   Sandy is responsive to body position, leg pressure and yields well to the rein.  She has a gentle personality, leads great, loads in a trailer, shoes fine, is current on all vacinations.  A friend rode her approximately 60 miles one week in July of 2007 on some difficult trail rides (rocky, steep terrain) with no problems.  Has a great fox trot and smooth running walk.  Beautiful rolling canter.
